Subjects and Methods : We conducted a survey of the actual status of foot problems by observing the feet and conducting interviews of 101 visitors. The relationships between diseases and foot problems, as well as the mutual relationships among foot problems were analyzed by theχ2test. Results : In regard to foot problems,xerosis cutis of the foot was seen in 44.6% of the subjects,followed in frequency by skin thickening in 40.6% and nail thickening in 37.6% of the subjects. All of xerosis cutis, skin thickening and nail thickening were related to the presence of hypertension. As to the mutual relationships among foot problems, there was a significant association between skin thickening and nail thickening, as well as between callus and ingrowing toenails. Conclusion : Although much remains unknown about the association between hypertension and foot problems, reduction in the peripheral circulatory function and use of antihypertensive diuretic drugs may have an influence. Considering the high rates of xerosis cutis and skin thickening encountered in the subjects,we consider that it would be useful to focus on foot care education for elderly people.}, pages = {335--341}, title = {老人福祉センターを利用する高齢者の足トラブルの実態と関連要因の分析}, volume = {64}, year = {2014} }
